You Can Tell She is New

I hope she still feels this way after a few years in Korea:

I am content with living in such a kind country and when reading about these uncultured Scots who pick fights after too many beers, it makes me realize that Scotland has a lot of work ahead if this problem is to be addressed and improved.

These racist and harmful individuals need to be educated and made aware of other countries in order to make Scots like myself proud of their own again.

Scotland is a beautiful country and has a kind nation but this is currently being ruined by this violent, and unjustified, behavior. Proud Scots need to continue with the antiracism message (this behavior will not be tolerated), regardless of where it happens and who the victims are. [Korea Times]

She has only lived in Korea for two months in Chunju so maybe it is probably understandable that she hasn’t seen drunken Korean brawls or been shouted racial insults before in Korea.  What was interesting was that while reading her article one of the most read stories on the Korea Times was this.  In general she is right about low crime in Korea which is a definite positive about living in Korea but as a female she may want to read this and especially this before she gets to naive about living in Korea.

    Hey Hey dont be hard on this woman. She just wants us to be respectful of the host nation. WE who been here for a while know that Koreans do not drink or act irresponsibly. We know this and thus we cannot ruin this wonderful culture by drinking and getting out of control….or letting our children ride on our laps in the front seat without seatbelts. I only wish there were more people like this woman to give us a refreshing view to Korea
